Whenever the deity contrives misfortunes for a man, he first harms their understanding.
Not knowing anything is the sweetest life.
Strike at a great man, and you will not miss.
Heaven never helps the man who will not help himself
To many men much-wandering hope comes as a boon, but to many others it is the deception of vain desires.
To know that all is well, even if late will come to know it, is at least some gain.
